Today's interview is an inspiring one, with Deb Habib, who with her
partner Ricky Baruc is a co-founder and co-director of the Seeds of
Solidarity Farm and Education Center in Orange, MA.

They met in 1984 while working at the New Alchemy Institute on Cape Cod
MA, a small international organization whose purpose was to “design
human-scale, low polluting alternatives to super technology and to
design and test intensive food growing methods.” Putting these ideas
into practice, they decided to try to live by the ideal sand values of
local sustainability as they moved to Orange, MA in 1996, an
economically challenged former-manufacturing center where they were able
to establish a farm on 30 acres of land and be contributing members of a
rural community.

Over the last 20 years, they have maintained and grown their farm and
simultaneously developed and offered educational programs for area
schools and developed a flagship mentoring farming and sustainability
program designed to meet the needs of local high school aged students.
